Looking at the recent discussions, I'm not sure how long that
continues to be the case for arch-all-packages.

For the moment, it works as it is (and as long as it only affects
source packages, I'm happy to filter in wanna-build).

BTW, since some time edos-debcheck is called directly from wanna-build
(edos-builddebcheck isn't used anymore).

ok, good.
